 * Dakota and Zeke was going to be the main antagonists of Episode 9, but for unknown reasons. Dakota was scrapped and Ezekiel remained the same.
 * Originally, the finale was going to be Courtney vs. Scott, but the writers thought it would be a great idea to have a rivalry finale between Mike and Zoey.
 * Originally, both Mike and Zoey was going to be eliminated in Episode 12 but for the same reasons as the last plan. It was scrapped and Gwen & Scott took the boot instead.
 * Gwen was going to be eliminated instead of Courtney in “Sundae Muddy Sundae” but since Ed McDonald wanted an end point for Courtney’s redemption arc, the character mentioned got eliminated instead.
